That means the Amazon contractor delivery service has the package and is driving across the metropolitan area (30+ miles) to make the delivery. Okay, but that is rush hour in a area of 7.2 million idiots, none of whom can drive correctly, at least during rush hour. Well it didn't get delivered last night. Overnight I received an email stating the package had been delayed and to get in touch with them if I didn't receive it by Tuesday. I've gotten these CYAA statements before, so no big deal. (CYAA = Cover Your Amazon A##.) On a whim I decided to ask the all knowing, all seeing Alexa where my package was.
Me, "Alexa, track my package."
Alexa, "I can find no open orders @#$%."
I asked several times but I could never understand her "@#$%" comment. It was a single word, but no clue which word. Alexa cursing in her native language? Not sure. But WTF! Alexa, that wise, all seeing, all knowing entity had no clue about my order. What a useless POS she has become. 
Well I guess I need to go make up with Siri and see if she will take me back... 
ETA: I'm not surprised the package was not delivered on time. Since they initiated the drive across the metropolitan area during rush hour with heavy rain storms throughout the area, I never thought they would get it to me last night. No big deal. I'll probably get it today. I already got a new text message stating it is on the way. But what gripes me is that whenever I get packages delivered by Amazon's own delivery service, they always seem to deliver late at night between 7:00 and 9:00pm. I wish they would use 7:00pm as the cut off time rather than 9:00pm. Also, if your package is being delivered by Amazon's own delivery service (Carrier: AMZL US), there is no apparent way to track it except on the Amazon Order page. The tracking number is internal only and there is no external tracking website. |
Jack, did the order number start with letters? She was probably reading it as a word.
